TB4 Build

On the bases... Do we have a preference on the counter bore? I am doing mine for socket cap screws instead of flat head screws. Anyone else want them that way?

Eric

I do, I do!!!

I have also received the parts from Chris and Steve. Thanks guys, they look great! Thm:

The flywheels are done, I just need to make up the stripper bolts. Hope to get them done and sent out by the end of the week.

Eric, socket heads are fine with me.

Cheers

Well, I got the 4 of the 6 bases cut to size last night. While working on the fourth base, the Y axis handle on my mill suddenly got tight, then froze. Froze as in it felt like the gib was tightened to the max. Haven't had a chance to take it apart yet to see what it is...

Needless to say, I was hoping to get them out this weekend... I don't think that will be happening. Let's hope it is something minor

That sucks! I hope it's something easy to fix.

Well, due to a kind gentleman on another board, I should have the replacement parts to fix my mill next week. So I will be back on track soon.

Thinking about doing a satin type finish on the bases. I really don't like to polish... Anyone want a satin finish?

 

[Path]

Eric,

Actually I perfer a satine or even a brush finish ... go for it.

It will look great. :bow:

I do I do!!

Use 320 grit and they will match the finish on the cylinders.

Well... with the broken mill (Y axis has been cobbled back together while I await parts), I got some work done on the bases. Almost done. Took forever with Y axis out of kilter (still works... just painful). Most of the finishing is done. They have already been hit with 220 grit paper. They look pretty good.

I have to make an order at Mcmaster for some low profile 10-24 socket cap bolts to fit and finish the sanding.

Should be shipping shortly.

Eric

 

[Brass_Machine]

Got the bolts today. Will package and ship the bases out tomorrow!

I need the Base, Fly Wheel and Shaft, as soon as I get them I will build the Connecting Rods, Valve and Rocker Arm Shaft
for the perfect fit.

If I get them by this weekend, I will start the build Monday otherwise the same day I get them ... the base is the important part.

Thanks for the update.

I didn't get a chance to finish packing them last night. Will do it tonight and take to the 24hr self serve kiosk.

Should have them fairly soon I would think
